Hey y’all!

Welcome to Day 1 of the August Waltzingmouse SOAP. As you may know Claire at Waltzingmouse Stamps has recently decided to do bi-monthly releases of her new (and glorious!) stamps. So on the month’s when there are no new releases, we (the Design Team) will be providing you with lots of inspiration for the sets that were released on the previous month. That’s why it’s called the Waltzingmouse SOAP… Stamps Of Approval Parade.

Last month, Waltzingmouse Stamps released the following sets:

- Flourishes – Scallops & Dots
- You’re Lovely
- Cameo Creations
- Cameo to Go
- Eat Cake
- Ovals – Classic Frames
- Big Day Additions
- Big Day Essentials

Today I used You’re Lovely, Eat Cake, & Cameo to Go on my card.

I can’t get enough of the gorgeous border stamp in Eat Cake.

Well I am having lots of fun playing with all of these gorgeous Waltzingmouse sets. Did you get a chance to buy any of these last month? Even if not, it’s never too late to treat yourself. I love that Claire gives us some time in between releases to play catch up a bit.

Ok folks… I’m all done here… Now it’s time to check out what the other Design Team members have created for you today:

Have a beautiful day!

The Craft’s Meow August Release Blog Hop

Posted by Sarah Martina on Aug 1, 2011 in The Craft's Meow | 26 comments

Hey everyone!

The Craft’s Meow has a really special release for you this month with 4 great sets by Jenny Suchin, TCM’s newest stamp designer, and Nina Brackett of Nina B. Designs. The four sets being released are:

- In Tandem,
- Telegram,
- Owl Be Thinking of You, &
- Owl Be Seeing You In Class

I used Telegram and In Tandem on my card today. I have some back-to-school projects that are in progress using Owl Be Seeing You In Class, and I’ll be sharing those with you soon.

There are so many little sentiments and images in the Telegram set, that it was hard for me to decide which ones to use on this card. So, to squeeze some more stamping in, lol, I stamped up a little Melissa Frances tag to tuck into the card front.
